What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
11 years ago it was this somewhat neglected corner of Derby…
Pics of W.E. Savage have appeared on the blog before, here and here but I don’t think I’ve published a pic of the ‘Glam Boutique’ pinup before.

I had this Nikon Zoom 310AF QD in the drawer for years but only in January did I put a roll of film through it!
I’m quite pleased with the results, the lens is sharp (or sharp enough) and the exposures all look fine…
A camera to use more often I think!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
10 years ago it was the ‘Love Locks’ adorning Weir Bridge in Bakewell, Derbyshire…
An estimated 40,000 locks were removed from the bridge in September 2004 and the bridge redesigned to prevent more locks being attached. The locks were relocated to nearby Thornbridge Hall where they now form ‘The Love Locker’.
I wonder if Lewis and Kathryn are still together?

This is definitely at Panther (made by Phelon & Moore in Cleckheaton, Yorkshire) and I believe it’s a 1961 650cc Model 120.
